Exmos Start The Fire on YouTube - Images Appearing In The Video

Exmormons and Mormons who experienced the LDS Church from the 1960's through the 1990's may thoroughly relate to this video while those who came of age in Mormonism from the later 1990's to present may be unaware of the subtle (insider) and not so subtle humor and parody rolling out of this video "as stone cut out of the mountain without hands."

The images below appear in the video at a fast clip from one to two or three seconds in duration such that the viewer may not capture all of their detail and meaning. You may enjoy the video more if you take your time to preview these scenes prior to playing the video. Another option is to "pause" the video at the scene to view the entire image.

Exmos Start The Fire


(Tune: Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire" - Album - Storm Front - 1989 Columbia Records - created by Byron Goff, Ian Lewis and cricket)

1st Verse

Joseph Smith, apostasy, Mormon theocracy,
Golden plates, April 6th, Martin Harris.
Treasure dig'n, Word O' Wisdom, Kirtland Bank, Celestial Kingdom,
Hill Cumorah, Gadianton Robbers scare us.
Apostates, urim thummum, rameumptom,
Brigham, "The wives and I", hie to Kolob in the sky.
Heber Kimball, polygamy, "tar and feather me!"
Fanny Alger, Emma Smith, wrong woman Joe was with.

Chorus

We caught a hold the fire
Our bosoms barely burning
The truth we're now a learn'n
Joe Smith was a liar.
No we do not like it,
That's why we try to fight it.

2nd Verse

Larry King, doctinal whim, Gordy and Elohim
Cleon Skousen, John Bircher, Ezra Taft.
Spencer Kimball, homophobe, Mark Petersen,
Endure to the end, 12 apostle priestcraft.
Johnny Miller, Paul H Dunn, Steven Young's number one,
Gordon Hinckley, temple plan, Gladys Knight, Disneyland.
Seagulls, cricket pest, Nauvoo, Far West,
Mummies, kinderhookie, Joseph get's all the nookie.

Chorus

Mainstreet, ACLU, Provo, YBU,
Handcarts, this is the place, Jake Garn lost in space.
Lorenzo, manifesto, polygamists off to Mexico,
Fawn Brodie, Mountain Meadow, shut up says David O'.
Baptize dead, tithing pay, Internet leads exmo's away,
Legacy, temple square, tour guide Zombie stare.
Blacks okay, next G.A., ain't no way,
Bruce McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, Exmos mock him.

chorus

George P Lee, veneration, Lamanite Generation,
Pioneers, gold rush, real inspiration.
So called intellectuals, feminist or gay,
Sunstone, Packer, he always gets his way.
Republicans, Primary pennies, Days O' 47,
Utah Mo's, Vote their way, or don't get into heaven.

chorus

Lion House, Eagle Gate, Danites decide your fate,
Visit Teach, Jell-O, converts never show.
Donny Osmond sells out Adam-ondi-Ahman,
Mormons in Palestine, party time, where's the wine,
Ten percent, get a recommend, temple endowment.
Don't swear, day and night wear that funny underwear,
Never self stimulate, sixteen before you date,
This church is a chore, I can't take it anymore

chorus

We lighted the exmo fire
The Mo's got it wrong
Bosoms won't burn on, and on, and on, and on...
